Lidl has been praised by customers after unveiling a major change to its fresh fruit and vegetable. The supermarket announced it would be supporting suppliers across Great Britain by selling produce affected by the recent droughts.
Many crops have become stunted this summer due to the hottest and driest weather seen in half a century. The discount retailer chain said the change will help to "prevent perfectly good, quality produce from going to waste because of variations in specifications, for example a different size to what shoppers are typically used to."
Customers were quick to praise the move, with many taking to Twitter to share their approval. @ThoroughBrit said: "Wonderful, I miss all those peculiar shapes we saw when I was growing up, tasted just as good and so much better for the growers, less waste. Bring it on!"
